Today TV-Browser has reached it's 15th birthday. To celebrate this occasion TV-Browser is back on Google Play thanks to Thorsten Giesecke.

Since it was necessary to release it as a new app at Google Play (with some limitations compared to the free version) it's currently only available for beta testers, but everybody can become a beta tester, just follow the link: become a beta tester of TV-Browser vP. To install the beta version you further have to deinstall the current TV-Browser app on your device.

To make sure your data can be restored, use the synchronization function of TV-Browser to upload your channels, favorites and settings configuration of the installed TV-Browser app.

If you prefer to keep your current (free) version of TV-Browser without limitations you can also test the new beta version with manually downloading and installing it on your device. In the future a plugin will be available that checks for new versions of the free TV-Browser and will be able to download and install it without you having to do it manually.

TV-Browser 4.0.1 mostly fixes bugs of the previous version. But new features like the automatically resize of the reminder window are also included.

TV-Browser 4.0.1 now bsically supports Java 9 mit, which means that TV-Browser now can be started with Java 9 also. TV-Browser still is based on Java 8, which still is the recommended Java version to use with TV-Browser.

Due to many suggestions for improvement and the intensive work of the tester, we can present the newest TV-Browser to you. TV-Browser 4 contains many improvements like the new Reminder dialog or the highlighting of the channel column in the program table, when a channel was selected. Bugs were fixed also, so TV-Browser should be more stable than ever.

TV-Browser 4 now need a Java 8 runtime environment, but that also means that TV-Browser now uses the new functions of Java 8, which make TV-Browser 4, even though it has more features, smaller than the previous version.
